This test method is applicable ...
  • WATER FREE WATER IN MID-DISTILLATE FUELS: ASTM D4860 WATER FREE WATER IN MID-DISTILLATE FUELS: ASTM D4860TEST SUMMARYThis test is similar to ASTM D4176. The color of sample does not affect the measurement. The test uses a rapid, portable means of visually inspecting for particulate matter and rating numerically for free water in aviation turbine and distillate ...
  • WATER FREE WATER IN DISTILLATE FUELS: ASTM D4176 WATER FREE WATER IN DISTILLATE FUELS: ASTM D4176TEST SUMMARYFuel specifications often contain the requirement that it be clear and bright and free of visible particulate matter. This test method provides two procedures to cover that requirement. This test method is applicable to distillate fuels having ...
  • FREE WATER, PARTICULATES, AND CONTAMINANTS IN AVIATION FUELS: ASTM D6986 FREE WATER, PARTICULATES, AND CONTAMINANTS IN AVIATION FUELS: ASTM D6986EXPLANATIONFuel quality is paramount in aviation fuels because of their critical application. Many successive types of inspections are conducted to ensure quality protection. Rapid, visual inspections carried out at various locations ...
  • WATER IN CRUDE OILS BY POTENTIOMETRIC KF TITRATION: ASTM D4377 WATER IN CRUDE OILS BY POTENTIOMETRIC KF TITRATION: ASTM D4377(Equivalent Test Method: IP 356)TEST SUMMARYThis test method covers the determination of 0.02 to 2 % in crude oil. Mercaptan and sulfide interfere. At levels <500 ppm as sulfur their interference is insignificant. After homogenizing the ...
  • WATER IN CRUDE OIL BY DISTILLATION: ASTM D4006 WATER IN CRUDE OIL BY DISTILLATION: ASTM D4006(Equivalent Test Method: IP 358)TEST SUMMARYThe sample is heated under reflux conditions with a water immiscible solvent (xylene), which co-distills with the water in the sample. Condensed solvent and water are continuously separated in a trap; the water ...
